What are my options for headsets?
– I believe I can piece to gather a hope one, but any cheaper options, or something like the crane creek angleset thats not “expensive”

From any shop who sell shimano and hope.

on-one do one but it’ll depend on exactly what head tube you’ve got

Have you been on the CaneCreek website and gone throught the headset finder? You select you frame and fork steerer size and it tells you what you need.

LeeW – top idea (especially as the existing headset is a crane creek.
Although………would the hope 1.5 to 1.1/8 crown race adapter work with a crane creek headset????

yes.

I’ve got this coming up.

I looked at the cane creek thing and it seemed to come up about the same ££ as Hope – given hopes rep for longevity and willingness to stand behind their product and the money staying in the UK seems an easy enough choice – if I think about it too much it’s a lot for a headset but it’s cheaper than a new fork…

Superstar do one, but only in two crap colours. The on-one thing is for external headsets only (I think). So, is it semi or external? FSA do one too.

integrated, and i think i can get away with either just the hope adapter, or a CraneCreek bottom cup for about £30ish, so not too bad
